First, Happy Birthday to me.  Well, actually, my birthday is tomorrow.  And so I’ll be doing something I haven’t done since shortly after I started writing Name of the Day posts in May 2008 – I’m choosing the names.  All week.  And I’m starting with my discarded given name tomorrow. But enough about that.  The [...]

Thanks to Kelleita for suggesting the less common and more tailored Isobel as Name of [...]

The Social Security Administration should release the 2008 US Top 1000 in a few days.  It’s sort of like Christmas-meets-the-Fourth-of-July here at AppMtn. Plenty of parents turn to the rankings as part of choosing a baby name.  You’ll often hear expectant moms and dads mention that they’re avoiding the Top Ten.  Or Top 100.  The [...]
